Will Destiny the humanoid robot take your job?
A UK-based robotics firm is developing humanoid robots that can perform various tasks, potentially replacing traditional jobs but also creating new roles. The robots are being designed for applications such as laundry, cooking, and cleaning, as well as more complex tasks like nuclear reactor decommissioning.
A small technology firm in Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire, is developing futuristic human-like robots. Robotics engineer Nathan Wallace has been programming and training a robot named Destiny, which has articulated arms and legs, allowing it to perform a wide range of tasks. Destiny can run, dance, and perform Kung Fu moves, and is being designed for applications such as laundry, cooking, and cleaning. The firm, NextGen Ri, has a UK contract to build and customize the robots commercially. While there are concerns that humanoid robots could replace traditional jobs, Wallace believes they will also create new roles for people who build, fix, and maintain them. The robots are being designed for tasks that are laborious or dangerous, such as nuclear reactor decommissioning and remote bomb disposal.
